Lynn

there's a lake effect snow warning on the weather channel in the living room of the family that resides in your skull
your body is a rotting carcass
my lip is bleeding
far off you hear a small child lost at walmart screaming for his mother
you've been dead for two weeks
your remains are in the woods behind a shopping plaza
and i am walking and notice you and look inside and see the family and
i wave hello and they wave back and invite me over for dinner and
we have an odd meat that i've never tasted before
the family called the dish lynn

the television flashes a picture of a young woman that has been missing for two weeks
her name is lynn
i panic and say thank you for dinner but i must be on my way

i call the police but your body is gone and
i guess you were never really there at all
